My right side lower ball joint will not fully seat (bottom-out or touch the lower control arm) the same way as the left side drivers side does. Nuts are tight. Any advice? |

Did you clean the hole in the lower arm from rust and make sure you don't have a small burr? Did you make sure you didn't damage the hole when you removed the old ball joint ? A ball joint not properly seated is not acceptable ! I would remove it again and make sure everything is fine before repressing again. Hammering on the press under pressure can help to seat the ball joint too . |

I discovered that it's a bad lower ball joint, replacing both sides. |
